Grading out Each Draft Class in Predators' 15 Years of Play

As the Predators prepare for their 15th season, they must first negotiate their 16th NHL Entry Draft come Sunday at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Coming off a lockout-shortened season in which they did not make the playoffs for only the second time in nine years, the Predators have the No. 4 overall pick –- their lowest since taking forward David Legwand with the No. 2 overall pick in their very first draft in 1998.
